GUANTANAMO BAY

Guantanamo Bay is closing because President Barach Obama and his incoming director of national intelligence believe that it is "a damaging symbol to the world." Obama said"the message we are sending around the world is that the United States intends to prosecute the ongoing struggle against violence and terrorism, and we are going to do so vigilantly; we are going to do so effectively; and we are going to do so in a manner that is consistent with our values and our ideals." He wants to fight against terrorism he thinks that the with his actions he will restore the moral authority and strengthen the national security of the United States. Obama's incoming director said "It is a rallying cry for terrorist recruitment and harmful to our national security, so closing it is important for our national security,". So basically Guantanamo Bay is closing because of the terrorism and for the sake of our security. I personally think that Obama is right becuase our security is important. The closing of Guantanamo Bay shows how President Barach Obama cares for us and is brave enough to stand up for human rights. I am proud to say that Obama is our president and he wants the best for us.
